Eating certain types of clay, such as Bentonite Clay, can have some positive health benefits. Some of these benefits include regulating bowel movements, relief from constipation or diarrhea, improved digestion, improved physical energy and stamina, reduction of various aches and pains, healthier skin, whiter and brighter eyes, improved gum health, improved immune system, and detoxification of toxins from the body. Recently, researchers are looking into the weight loss benefits of ingesting clay. Clays ability to absorb water and expand in the stomach may help increase the feeling of fullness (satiety) when taken before meals.

Is eating clay unhealthy in any way?
Many people (especially pregnant women) with iron or other mineral deficiencies have the urge to eat clay, dirt, and laundry starch. The urge to eat things that aren't normally considered foods is called "pica" Eating clay can be unhealthy because there are a lot of dangerous germs (bacteria) that could be living in the soil you are consuming. The organism that causes the lethal foodborne illness botulism actually resides in the soil. I would recommend against eating clay, and instead discuss with your doctor or dietitian things you can substitute instead of eating clay.
